Sen. Graham on Russia and Ukraine

[pjohns]

Who is "utterly aghast" at the prospect of a war with Russia.

I would suggest that anyone who thinks the US should back away--or, more precisely, back down--in order to avoid a conflict here, is aghast at war with Russia.

Does that make sense to you?

I think many people who claim not to "fear" one, actually want a war with Russia.

Well, not me.

And not anyone I have ever known of, either.

I am for war with Russia if Russia was threatening US vital national interests. I don't think the US should wage war with anyone for anything not a vital national interest.

I certainly do not think that the US should instigate a war with Russia.

If Russia should begin such a war--and I consider that possibility rather remote--then the US should respond accordingly.

These people are either warning that the US be careful and weigh options critically. Others are isolationists. And yet others don't see much use for the US to get deeply involved in the region.

I guess that I have seen articles by people utter aghast but I pass those by.

Well, not me.

And not anyone I have ever known of, either.

I think a lot of people want to assist whatever it takes without thinking of the consequences. Those people worry me.

Nations tend not to know they are close to war until it is triggered.

That is not the case in most instances.

You are a radical, dangerous war head. The US has no vital national interest in Ukraine. But you have been pushing for a shooting war with Russia from the first day of Russia's invasion. You are willing to fight to the last young person and our last tax dollar as you believe you will pay no personal price for your recklessness.

[MisterVeritis]

Wars tend to come slowly, then all at once.

How about we focus on our own failing country instead?

Our own country may implode, but at least we can take solace knowing that Zelenskyy gets to stay in power in Kiev.

[MisterVeritis]

Yes, Russia is weaker now that it was prior to the invasion. All of the sanctions are screwing with the global economy.

We are much weaker as well.

[Peter1469]

We are much weaker as well.

Because of the extent of our 20 year fixation with terrorism and getting bogged down in two nation feel good building projects.

That is 2 decades of not focusing on a real war and the tech needed to fight it.

Additionally, we allowed radical anti-American, environmentalist wackos to change our laws in ways that harm our ability to manufacture here. We have no idea just how much environmentalists have done to lead us to our demise. We will need time to undo the damage environmentalism as done to us.
